This is the best I've read so far. Maybe add a twist of Fullmetal Alchemist too.

I'd love to see an adaptation of Dr Doom and Dr Strange's team-up (Triumph and Torment). Does Fox still own Doom?

Very much. Doom's tied into the FF rights. Though we don't know whether or not Doom will be involved, the awful sounding (thus far) FF reboot should be beginning production shortly according to a couple of reports.

I don't believe that until it happens.
Fox MIGHT get there act together, but knowing that studio, I doubt it.

It wasn't Marvel Studios that made me a Marvel Zombie, it was every other movie studio failing at making superhero movies as good as them! ------------------------------

I've always imagined Strange done in an atmospheric noir style. Lots of use of shadow on the faces and scenery. Some smoke or fog. It needs to have an otherworldly eerie feel. I see most of the colors washed out but his cloak should show bright red and yellow against the muted other colors in the real world, Tibet for example. The alternate worlds, by contrast, should be brightly lit with odd colors and lighting techniques and the look of Ditko's work should be captured as much as possible. But even here, the use of shadow would be important as it was important to ALL of Ditko's work.

I'd love to see it be some sort of really trippy surreal horror flick. Doctor Strange has the potential to capture people's imaginations like nothing before it. Think of it as a horror version of Avatar but without the cliche plot and with visuals that are really, really bizarre. What frightens me the most is that Doctor Strange might just be a standard superhero flick and not the pop culture phenomenon that it COULD become.

My preferred director is Pascal Laugier who's able to make a really trippy horror film. Like if this movie totally makes sense to me and doesn't have all sorts of trippy symbolic visuals everywhere, I'd probably be let down. Keep it inspired by Steve Ditko and make it one of the biggest head trips of all time. Think a combination of Zardoz, Mulhalland Drive and Jacob's Ladder.

We'll no what direction Marvel takes this when they make a decision on the director. I want something completely different for Dr. Strange. Anything but a superhero flick. If they bring another run of the mill director, I'll have no interest watching this.

To add to this, I remember Copolla saying when he made Dracula how physics don't apply in the presence of Dracula...shadows behave oddly, water runs uphill, etc. In that movie, Dracula left the room, closed the door...and then his shadow slipped out of the room under the door. That's the sort of stuff that should happen in the presence of a man who has handled arcane occult powers as Strange has. I also remember the cover of the first Illuminati comic. The look of Strange's eyes looked...well, strange. It made me think that someone who would have seen things that Strange had seen would do something to the eyes.

As long as they don't do magic like Harry Potter I'll be able to watch it. While both Dr. Strange and HP are about guys who do magic they are(or should be) fundamentally different in their approaches to how they portray magic. In a lot of ways HP was like Star Trek just with the pseudo-science replaced by magic. Very standard nerdy, equation like. A+B=C. Strange should have more of an air of the mystical and the mysterious to it. Bit of horror as well if possible.

By the way, what villains and arc should the film adapt? I think the most probable choice would be to have Mordo and Dormammu as the villain, similar to that long arc during Strange Tales where both villains team up.

I am game for anything except his magic just being "science we don't understand"

So, idk who could direct. For example, since Marvel has now picked three (technically four) TV directors for their movies, I'd look at TV. If a big element of this is going to be medical drama, look towards prominent directors in House. Or, my choice in that scenario would be Jack Bender. He's only ever done TV but he did tons of Lost (which I loved) and that already had the medical aspect with Jack's character, and the strange/mysterious fantasy of the Island.

You should never ever resist the urge to condescend at people. Please explain to us why our pitiful opinions are wrong!

I think he just wanted to try and impress everyone with his use of the word 'diametric'. Real magic and magic tricks aren't necessarily mutually exclusive either but I don't think anyone wants to see a Strange movie where we discover that all of his 'magic' is just slight of hand. Why then would we want to substitute that with 'science'? Summoning the Vapors of Vaaltor with an incantation has nothing to do with science and therefore, in that example, magic and science ARE diametric.
